Each tracker is able to precisely measure its rotation. When at least 5 trackers are calibrated to your waist, thighs, and ankles, then the SlimeVR server uses your proportions and headset position to calculate your joints, and trackers position using this info.
More trackers = more points of rotation measured = more realistic movements!
The core tracking technology in the Core and Pro versions is exactly the same. The Core set comes with five individual trackers that attach to your waist, knee, and ankle to capture the movement of your lower body.
The Pro set comes with five additional trackers that attach to your elbows, feet, and chest.
The Core set is for someone dipping their toe into full body tracking while the Pro set is for someone looking for the maximum immersion possible!
Trackers work with headsets that support SteamVR, and with standalone headsets via our application — no base stations required.
Make sure the SlimeVR Server is installed and running, then follow the QuickStart steps to mount and assign trackers. The server UI contains step-by-step guidance.
